Date.js formating to dd/mm/yyyy

Question

Hello my user can input date like 2/2/2008, but I need it in format 02/02/2008. How do i reformat it with date.js?

I have tried:

document.getElementById("smth").value = Date.parse(smth, "dd/mm/yyyy").toString("dd/mm/yyyy");

while parse works fine, toString outputs 02/00/2008? and if run it again on date 02/00/2008 I get 01/00/2008.

Can anyone point me in right direction?

Sorry bout that. I searched few answers but I hadn't come across that one. Solution was MM instead of mm. Check the solution below — niproblema, Oct 23 '14 at 07:04

Isn't this case sensitive? mm for minutes, MM for months?
